My first Wagovan
5280Wagovan
Band Wagon
Hi all, I'm Josh, living in Denver and this is my story so far........
So I traded my love, an 82 Cressida for a 90 Civic RT4wd. I did this for a couple reasons, I was bored with the Cressida engine and wanted to swap a 2JZ but it was A LOT OF MONEY!!! and it was an auto. Along came this Civic, manual, awd, wagon, hit every check on my list and the guy was cool with an even trade. I do miss the Cressida but the Wagovan fits my life much better, skiing and frolfing and out door stuff with dogs and such. ANYWAY........ the stock d16 smoked so I did a Vtech swap, gonna turbo it some time in the future, need to find headers and get them to fit somehow, used some ebay slip on coilovers to get it down a little, got some LS mesh rims, speaker pods, the rear Honda H is from a 77 Civic cvcc that i owned for a bit, lots and lots more to do still. Gonna race it on Gorgetown lake this winter when its frozen over, well I dont know about "race" but its gonna be fun!!! If you live in Colorado we should try and meet up this winter and all drive on the Gorgetown lake. Well here's some pictures of how the Wagovan sits now. Still wanna go lower but need camber kits first, also I have fender flairs from a GTI that I wanna put on somehow someday, but I will need WIDER rims and tires for that. on with the pictures....
I'll post pictures of my Cressida in the other ride area if you wanna see it.
